in the beginning... there were rocks
and on those rocks with harder rocks we learnt to make a million bruises
spell out things like "we were here" and "watch your water"
the idea of bruises adding up to something
for rocks to skim
a tendency towards... motion pictures

Just saw that book... yikes it's expensive, but it's only gonna be more expensive once it's totally unavailable and gone, i guess? maybe if i cut pack my lunch for a week i can justify it.

the numbers on the telephone, the parts of the book, the notes of the scale:they are the same, are they not?they come from the sameness of the idea of the outside-ness, not the alongside the outside-ness, the different-ness.

having seen them play 'The Backyard' for about 9 years now, including once sitting right next to Ashley, it's been amazing to see Martin begin by interpreting very much in his own voice (with his own occasionally more snarky tone bringing an edge to the more ironic lines) and very gradually move closer and closer and closer to purely inhabiting Ashley's original persona.
